Ein ney Furmbüchlein, Page 15, verso 1520 - 1530

This woodcut print, "Ein ney Furmbüchlein, Page 15, verso," from the early 16th century, is a page from a pattern book by Johann Schönsperger the Younger. The page features four intricate designs, including a geometric pattern, two variations on foliate ornament, and a band of interlaced strapwork. These designs are characteristic of Renaissance ornament and would have been used by artisans for a variety of purposes, such as decorating furniture, textiles, and architecture. The book, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry and technical skill of Schönsperger the Younger.
